NOTES:

  • Exist two types of wall.

  • The load-bearing wall resist its own load, the load of floors, roofs, persons

  • The non-bearing appears only where loads are carried by other members, as in heavy timber and other skeletal structures

  • The placement of walls is determined by the type of support for floors and roofs
